    Bottom of Door Rust Help

    I have rust beginning on the lower portion of a driver's side door that needs looking after before it gets too out of control. I know on the outside I can sandblast/wire brush/POR15 treatment then prime, paint and re-apply seam sealer but, what can I do about the hidden rust that is surely in...

    Need direction for painting my 80

    Have you looked into if you have a local vocational technical school near you? Depending on the school, they can do a surprisingly good job. The instructors are usually ASI certified. Paint cost isn't too bad if you use a mid grade like PPG's Omni line. Dupont has a similiar mid level line...

    Advice on Painting plastic cladding and bumper

    So, the SEM Sand Free is designed for areas where sanding isn't practical? This may be the same thing as adhesion promoter, but SEM is more than likely a higher quality product than say Rust Oleum or Dupli-Color adhesion promoters. Does anyone have first hand experience with this? The area...

    Advice on Painting plastic cladding and bumper

    The more I research the more opinions I find, when painting plastics that is. My plan of attack is this. Sand everything with 420 grit as well as I can. Clean and tack rag. Spray an adhesion promoter. Paint with Rustoleum Plastic paint. Let dry thjoroughly. Wet sand with 800 grit and then...

    Advice on Painting plastic cladding and bumper

    U-POL Tintable Raptor Lining Review

    I covered my 80 series with the U-Pol tintable and found that the color was no where near the darkness of the stock 97 Emerald green of my truck when applied. I used urethane paint as the tint. The tintable version of U-Pol is greyish in color and it makes sense that it will lighten any...

    Treadwright Tire Opinions

    My tires arrived today. Initial impressions are good. I like the bead to bead retreading they are using now. Not sure if it will increase reliability or not. The tread measured 17/32nd and looks like the perfect level of aggression for my needs. Not sure what a 265/75R16 tire weights in...

    Best Paint for Aluminum Rims?

    I ended up going with Dupli-Color self etching primer and VHT Satin Black and clear coat. I also bought some 3M stripping/scuffing pads. One "Moderate Stripping" for the initial scuffing followed up by "Between Coats" scuffing pad.

    Treadwright Tire Opinions

    More advice needed... I can request what tire brand (Goodyear, BFG, Michelin, ETC) the tires have as a casing and was wondering if one brand over the other is designed better. Stronger sidewalls are the main thing that comes to mind.

    Treadwright Tire Opinions

    After doing as much research as I can stand I'm going to order the Sentinels in 265/75R16. If it matters Treadwright is now retreading not only the tread area, but the entire sidewall. I'll post pics and my opinions when I finally get them. And will also be balancing with Dyna beads. I have...

    Treadwright Tire Opinions

    Has anyone had any experience, good or not so good, running Treadwright tires? My main focus is on-road performance and tread wear in all weather conditions including snow with a small amount of light off-roading. I am considering their Sentinel B2B A/T or Warden A/T. Each tire is $113.00...
